Christ we have a thin-skinned fanbase.
And let's be honest guys - if advanced stats analysis earmarked the Flames as one of the better teams in the league, this forum would be nodding in agreement at the predictive quality of advanced stats.

Stay Golden and I are watching different coverage than you I guess. Kypreos, Damien Cox, Glen Healy are three guys with lots of air time that constantly spew crap and seem opposed to Calgary putting in effort.
The nice thing is that Calgary does have supporters now, so somebody else on the panel typically speaks up and backs the Flames. This is a new and refreshing anomaly.
